Why Bear Trusts Us for Lock Installation

No Deadbolt—Just a Flimsy Knob Lock

That doorknob lock? A teenager with a credit card can bypass it. A proper deadbolt adds real security. If your entry door doesn't have one, you're not as protected as you think.

Locks Are Old, Worn, or Damaged

If your lock sticks, wiggles, or feels loose in the door, it's a security risk AND an eventual lockout waiting to happen. Replacement now prevents problems later.

New Door Needs Proper Locks

Installed a new exterior door or renovated an entryway? It needs professional lock installation to function correctly and provide real security—not just a lock shoved in a pre-drilled hole.

Smart Lock Is Still in the Box

You bought an August, Yale, Schlage, or Kwikset smart lock months ago. The instructions looked complicated. It's still sitting there. We set it up properly so it actually works with your phone.

"Gun safe combination stopped working after power outage. Kwikey opened it without drilling, replaced the battery backup, and reset my combination. Valuable firearms were never at risk. Very skilled work!"

"Needed a panic bar with alarm on our warehouse emergency exit. Kwikey sourced the exact hardware spec our insurance company required and installed it perfectly. The audible alarm works great and the door latches securely from the outside. Very professional crew."

Expertly Resolved FAQ: Lock Installation

Is it worth repairing an old lock or should I replace it? expand_more

We'll assess your lock and give honest advice. Sometimes a simple repair is all you need. Other times, replacing with a modern lock is the smarter investment. We don't push replacements if repair makes sense.

Is it better to rekey or replace locks in a new home? expand_more

Rekeying is often a smart choice for new homeowners, as it changes the internal pins so old keys no longer work. However, if the hardware is damaged or outdated, replacing the entire lock with high-security deadbolts is recommended for maximum protection.

Does lock installation require drilling new holes? expand_more

It depends on your door. If replacing an existing lock, usually no new holes are needed. For new installations, we drill precise holes that won't weaken your door. We also check that your door jamb is properly reinforced.

Do I need to make an appointment or can you come now? expand_more

Both work! For emergencies, we prioritize your call. For scheduled work like lock installation or rekeying, we can book appointments that fit your schedule. Tell us your preference when you call.

Can you install smart locks on standard residential doors? expand_more

Yes, we specialize in retrofitting standard doors with modern smart locks. We can help you choose a compatible system that integrates with your home automation while ensuring the physical installation is secure and professional.

Can I change locks if I'm renting? expand_more

Check your lease first—most landlords allow it if you provide them a copy of the new key. We recommend rekeying rather than replacing so you can give the old keys back when you move. Many landlords appreciate tenants who take security seriously.

Professional Lock Installation in Delaware & Pennsylvania

Whether you're upgrading worn-out hardware, adding deadbolts, or finally installing that smart lock you bought six months ago, Kwikey Locksmith provides professional lock installation throughout Delaware and Greater Philadelphia. We don't just stick a lock in a hole—we ensure proper alignment, solid strike plate installation, and smooth operation that provides real security.

We Install It Right the First Time

A great lock poorly installed is a security liability. Misaligned deadbolts don't fully engage. Loose strike plates can be kicked in. Smart locks with wrong positioning don't read correctly. Our technicians understand the details that make locks actually work—proper depth, correct backset, solid frame attachment. You get security that functions, not just hardware hanging in your door.

Which Lock Should You Choose?

The right lock depends on what you're protecting. For front doors, a Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolt provides serious resistance against forced entry. For interior doors, passage or privacy knobs are appropriate. For rental properties, consider smart locks with temporary access codes for tenants. And for maximum security, high-security brands like Medeco or Mul-T-Lock offer pick-resistant and bump-resistant protection that standard hardware simply can't match.

gavel New Castle County Locksmith Compliance
